5. Norway
The bride wears a silver crown, garnished with silver. As she walks the silver ornament start to sound. They believe the sound will make devil spirits and bad luck go away. So here, the responsibility of warding off the bad luck is on the shoulders of the bride.
4. Russia
Just like old fairy tale stories, the couple like a prince and princess walk in a red carpet to get crowned. This is how an Orthodox Russian wedd party is like. The couple will have a wonderful time then while saying their vows on the carpet. But before the vows, they go for a two-party competition over who can first step on the carpet. The winner will be the manager of household.
3. India
In India there are lots of tribes, each having its own beliefs and traditions. But the one in Santhal tribe is among the most frightening ones. The people there believe if a baby girl has a tooth that is rooted in gum, the devil hates her so sooner or later she will be killed and eaten by a wild animal like tiger or wolf. What then? She must be the bride of a dog. That happened in fact to Kernamoni Handsa. The poor 9 year old girl had no idea that all her bad luck is due to a upper tooth. She married local stray Bacchan.
2. The Roma communities (all over the world)
In Romani, known as Gypsies also, a strange tradition has been transited from generation to generation for centuries. It seems a discouraging tradition in twenty first century but doesn’t seem so for those living in Romani sticking to the tradition.
It is believed if a man who is in love with a lady, kidnaps his beloved one and keeps her for one or two days, she will officially be his bride. So when in Romani, if you want to find your mr. right, the only thing you need to do is: walk in dark strange places and wait the guy wearing a black mask with chloroform in his hands. Yes! He is the one.

1. Scotland
In a Scottish wedding, the bride is not treated like a princess unlike else where. Before coming to the party, you should wear every where in your house for finding a smelly rubbish thing. The more smelly, the more suitable for the party. You are puzzled? But you have no idea what for. To throw it to bride,s face. It is a very old tradition that may have two reasons. First for pleasing the groom. He wont then be discouraged if he is angry with the bride some day with no freedom to compensate. And next, the bride will get prepared to face life difficulties. Whenever getting into trouble then, she remembers all the black things on her face as a bride. Then she will shortly come to conclusion “oh no. I will come over the problem. Its not worse than all the smelly black rubbish on my face, whatever it is”.
